AI harness desktop launchers

This cluster consists of desktop launchers and managers that wrap local AI model harnesses, automating installation, updates, dependency management, and plugin configuration through graphical interfaces. They aim to simplify running local AI models, with features like one-click setup, global hotkeys, and themeable windows. The dated history is too thin to read a shape from, as it predates the index with only a single dated entry. Traction is led by boujoy-harness with 231 stars, followed by dsh-melody-launcher (23 stars) and dsh-launcher (12 stars).

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
